Bought a house, estimated the renovation budget plus 10-15% for inevitable extras, and we set aside 5000 EUR for the kitchen!!!!
That’s how it started... at first, I was in a bit of shock, but we still had time. First step: remove all the walls for a new layout—I need space...
Let’s start with the (according to the agent) move-in ready property. The small kitchen, just under 8 square meters (about 86 square feet), had its 1970s pass-through removed. The wall including the kitchen door is gone! The wall next to the cellar stairs is gone too! Actually, the entire slanted wall, nearly 7 meters (23 feet) high, removed completely...
The window had to go as well since we needed a different working height than the standard 90 cm (35 inches). New screed installed, we switched to underfloor heating, all electrical wiring and water pipes are new.
After almost six months, the realization slowly sank in: the kitchen budget will not exceed 5000 EUR, so we had to look for a used kitchen... something special, but very cheap.
The search criteria: within a 100 km (62 miles) radius, up to 1000 EUR, because I still want new appliances.

But you can’t hang cloths or anything there, right?Haha, that’s true, no, that won’t be possible. I never really thought about that until now. With small children, though, they usually only stay there for a few minutes anyway.
Installation is scheduled for the end of January. Photos will of course follow!

borderpuschl16 Dec 2019 14:20How do you even come up with the idea to use shell limestone as a countertop?
I think it's really cool, but I would never have thought of it.
Would you mind sharing a few more details?
Is it ground and polished, brushed, leathered, flamed, or somehow sealed, etc.?
It would be really interesting to learn more.
